# Deploy a SvelteKit app that uses Yarn

EasyHost picks Yarn when it finds `yarn.lock`. There is nothing to configure, and these are the exact commands it runs for SvelteKit.

## What EasyHost runs

| Step | Command |
| --- | --- |
| Lockfile | `yarn.lock` |
| Install | `corepack enable yarn && yarn install --frozen-lockfile` |
| Build | `vite build`, through your package build script |
| Start | `node build`, set as the start command or as `scripts.start` |

Scripts run with `yarn run <script>`. Dev dependencies are available during the build, and the app runs with `NODE_ENV=production`.

## Deploy

Install `@sveltejs/adapter-node` and set it in `svelte.config.js`. The auto adapter is not enough.

```
npx ezhst projects create my-project --link
npx ezhst apps create my-app
npx ezhst link --project <project-slug> --app <app-slug>
npm i -D @sveltejs/adapter-node
npx ezhst build set --start "node build"
npx ezhst env import .env
npx ezhst deploy
```

## Things to watch with Yarn

Set `packageManager` in `package.json` to pin your Yarn version. Yarn Berry may need `--immutable`, which you can set with `ezhst build set --install`.

Commit `yarn.lock`. Without any lockfile, EasyHost falls back to `npm install`. To replace the install step, run `ezhst build set --install "<command>"`.

## Frequently asked questions

### How do I change the Yarn install command?

Run `ezhst build set --install "<command>"`, then `ezhst redeploy`. Pass an empty string to return to auto-detection.
